Career Overview and Move to Denver
Evan Engram entered the NFL as a dynamic first-round pick, known for his speed and receiving prowess from his Ole Miss days. Over eight seasons, he's totaled 496 receptions for 4,922 yards and 25 scores, including a career-high 114 catches in 2023 with the Jaguars.
Hamstring and shoulder issues sidelined him in 2024, limiting him to nine games and 365 yards, culminating in labrum surgery. Seeking a fresh start, he signed a two-year, $23 million deal with the Broncos in March 2025, aiming to reclaim TE1 status.
2025 Season Stats Breakdown
Through 14 games in 2025, Engram has 43 receptions for 395 yards and 1 TD, with a 9.2 YPC average. He's thrived in Broncos wins (40-347-1) and second-half play (180 yards), including a 41-yard overtime grab.
Splits reveal situational impact: 129 yards in the fourth quarter, 170 on first downs. Game logs show highs like 5-42 vs. NYG and NYJ, but recent slumps with 2 or fewer catches in three straight, totaling 56 yards.
Impact on Broncos Offense
In Denver's high-powered attack (PPG 25.9, 3rd in rush YDS/G), Engram provides a reliable safety valve, ranking high in targets during key drives. His 33-yard grab vs. Jaguars set up a score despite the loss.
With playoffs looming on December 26, 2025, Engram's health and consistency could elevate Denver's postseason chances. More touchdowns would boost his fantasy value, but his yards-after-catch ability remains a staple.
